It's that time again! For your convienence I've attached the 2019 Recharter paperwork. A copy will be made available at all the meetings between now and December 5th when dues are due. Dues are $40 per registered Scout or Adult, there is an additional $12 charge if your Scout would like to receive Boys Life magazine. Dues can be paid in cash or by check, made payable to Troop 117. Any questions, please cocntact Denise Blain.

Den Chief positions are an excellent opportunity for Boy Scouts who need a leadership position and enjoy working with younger boys. Den Chief Training is required for Scouts to receive the Den Chief Service Award. Please note that the Den Chief Training available online is a fast start training which you can take to make you familiar with your position but it does not replace this instructor led course. The Den Chief works with a den of Cub Scouts led by an adult called a Den Leader. He helps with den meetings, helps the cub scouts earn achievements, and serves as a Scout role model for the younger boys. Working with the Assistant Scoutmaster for new Scouts, he also acts as a recruiter by bringing graduating Webelos Scouts into the troop and by promoting joint pack-troop activities. He is a key link between the pack and the troop.
